Yes to what you said except we actually didn’t vote for this. Sure, way too many people voted for Trump but he only came out ahead because of voter purges and voter suppression tactics that republicans have been using for years. Also the concentrated propaganda from Fox, talk radio, and social media made sure that half of voters aren’t even aware of reality.

To be clear, this is different than the “stop the steal” lies that maga was telling in 2020. This is about systemic ways that republicans have an unfair advantage in elections.

Here’s one article about that, there are others.

I’ve seen multiple pics of Elon in the White House and Oval Office and he’s wearing a baseball cap and no suit

They are mentally ill and also evil. Also, they know that the media doesn’t properly detect and ignore trolling and performative distractions.

The Manchurian Candidate came out in 1959 and was made a movie in 1962. I guarantee that the people who do game theory about coups and nuclear war have thought about a willing or unwilling traitor in power. It’s one of the most confusing things about all this that they haven’t done anything to stop it.

Also it seems to be a picture of the Earth colliding with the Earth.

The best possible outcome over the next four years is that there is just constant incompetence and chaos from Trump and all the idiots around him.

Yes that’s shitty but it’s the best possible thing we can hope for. He’s trying hard to destroy the country but he’s too stupid and greedy to do it right.

I do predict that he’ll be a trillionaire within a few years because apparently one of his main goals is unbridled corruption.

The problem didn’t appear overnight and trying to “fix” it overnight is going to cause chaos.

Just one example: there was a bipartisan bill a few months ago that had most of the things republicans asked for. Trump pressured the republicans to not vote for the bill because he wanted to campaign on illegal immigration and do this kind of cruel and stupid shit when he got elected.

Trump doesn’t try to fix things, he just likes showy displays of power and cruelty because he’s a fucking asshole.

Re: don't plug in a linux drive to window: This is a pretty new (all AMD) machine that had windows 11. I added a new drive and put linux on it and had a dual boot going. Just one time I tried to access the windows drive from linux to try to run a game I had installed there and it corrupted the windows drive. So yeah, I won't try to connect them.

I installed it from the Software Manager tool in Mint.

There are 6 reviews for it. The top review has this comment which sounds similar to my experience:

4 weeks after DarkRacoon, and I have the same problem. Steam kind of launches, shows up like an invisble window, then closes again. I also need to kill the Steam process, uninstall through Software Manager and then re-install again. All games are still installed, so it's just annoying to re-install Steam itself. And btw, yes I have ran the dpkg apt update mentioned in the Details section.

As I mentioned, I am new to Mint. I've used linux and unix before so I'm not totally lost, but the UI interface is a bit confusing for me, at least how it relates to the inner workings. So I guess you advocating that I figure out how to use flatpack. I assume it works sort of like Chocolatey on windows or Homebrew on Mac.
